    Well I was supposed to re-start BCG this past Friday! So I took a 1/2 day vacation Thursday, to get in one more day of Mtn Biking (bicycle-type), in the Mtns!

    Went into a 90-deg, down-hill turn a little to fast, my rear tire lost it’s grip and tried to kiss the front-tire, throwing me off & backwards.

    I hit the ground head-first & on my R-side. My head hit the ground so hard, both lenses of my sun-glasses popped out! R-arm bleeding like no tomorrow and my R-hip is sore as H—!

    Within minutes I had a head-ache I cannot describe! Ended up in the “ER” CT-scan of the head, X-rays of hip, pelvis & femur! Yes, I was wearing a Helmet, ER-Dr said that saved me!

    Severe concussion, and now a bruise from my waist to my knee, and latteraly 7 – 9 inches L/R! Walking is yes, painful!

    Cannot wait till I heal so I can get back to the Mtn’s on my bike.

    BCG restart: next Friday (stand-by)

    Life is good! 63-yo, and nothing broken, PTL!

    I will never understand you Old Guys trying something as crazy as Mountain Biking. Leave that to the young guys and try something safe like bungy jumping. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I am certainly glad you went to the Dr. so quick. Very smart.
    And the helmet was such a good idea. Maybe this site had a positive impact on you. I was worried you would have just gone home and waited it out! :dry: :dry:

    Good luck with your BCG. it should be a piece of cake by comparison.
